Filed: 2011-05-06
Abstract: A method of securely communicating a data chirp signal from a transmitter to a receiver, the chirp signal comprising at least one symbol, each symbol comprising one or more identical chirps, each chirp encoding a symbol value, the method comprising: negotiating between the transmitter and the receiver encryption parameters of the chirp signal (e.g. chirp gradient, centre frequency, bandwidth, number of samples etc.) ; at the transmitter, encrypting the chirp signal as negotiated and encoding data in the chirp signal via the symbol value of each chirp; and transmitting the encrypted and encoded chirp signal from the transmitter to the receiver. A symbol is encoded by altering the start frequency and hence the cyclic phase of the chirp, with the number of possible cyclic phases determining the number of bits which can form a symbol.

Title: Pressure vortex device to allow flapper closure in high velocity fluid applications
Inventor: MYERLEY THOMAS S
IPC: F16K1/18
Filed: 2011-07-25
Abstract: The problem of flappers that will not close due to high velocity gas rushing past and creating a vortex that has zones of high pressure pressing the flapper against the force of the torsion spring is reduced or overcome with modifications in the passage through a subsurface safety valve so as to reduce the intensity of the vortex to allow the torsion spring to pivot the flapper to closed position. Various shapes are inserted adjacent the flapper base to create turbulence to minimize or prevent the vortex and the associated pressure increases that would otherwise prevent flapper closure with the flow tube retracted. Inserts that create turbulence are placed in a recess that in part holds the flapper when it is rotated to the open position.

Title: Preventing entry via nightlatch without removing key
Inventor: LACEY CHARLES KENNETH
IPC: E05B63/00
Filed: 2014-01-30
Abstract: Four methods of reminding someone that they have left a key in the lock are disclosed. Firstly, Drawing 1 discloses a key with a portion that engages with a clip (Fig 4), completing a circuit which activates a visible or audible alarm inside the premises, until the key is removed. The second method (Drawing 2 Figs 1-3) uses a bolt (3) operated by a solenoid on the inner face of the door, activated using the spring clip method, whilst the key is in the lock the bolt is forced into the extended position and catches on a striker plate (D3 F1-3 5). When the key is removed the bolt can be withdrawn and can pass by the striker plate. Method three (Drawing 3 Figs 4-6) uses a solenoid in a similar way but a retaining bar (D3 F6 7) engages with the bolt (3) preventing the door opening sufficiently until the key is withdrawn. Method four (Drawing 3) uses a mechanism including an ejector block (4 D3 F1) which ejects the key if the keyholder's grip is released, which then falls through a hopper (D3 F6 13) onto the inner floor when the door is opened.

Title: A fire suppression system control valve
Inventor: MELTON DAVID LAURENCE
IPC: A62C35/02
Filed: 2014-02-26
Abstract: A valve 10 for use in a fire extinguisher includes isolation valve 12 comprising a ball-valve in which a valve 14 provides three channels 20, 22, 24 extending from an outer surface of the valve to a central void 26, effectively forming a T-shaped conduit within the valve 14. The first channel 20 and the second channel 22 provide a linear passageway through the valve member 12. The third channel 24, arranged perpendicularly to both the first channel 20 and the second channel 22, is of a smaller cross-section and provides a bypass vent. The valve 14 is arranged to either open a passageway between a pressurised extinguishant provided in a cylinder and outlet 32 or the valve 14 closes this passageway to prevent extinguishant being released from the cylinder. In both open and closed positions, a channel in the drive stem leads to a pressure gauge such that the pressure within the system can be monitored. The drive stem is concealed when the system is live preventing unauthorised movement of the isolation valve.

Title: System and method for improved accuracy in battery resistance measurement systems
Inventor: BUSH TERRY D
IPC: G01R31/42
Filed: 2014-03-07
Abstract: A method is disclosed for reducing an influence of voltage ripple on battery test measurements of battery cells (10) coupled in series that form a direct current (DC) bus for an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A calibration voltage ratio is determined from differences between a first test cell (16) and second reference cell (18). This ratio is used to modify the voltage measurement taken across the second cell to produce a modified voltage measurement. A current signal (14) is applied to the first test cell to measure test voltage. A difference between the measured test voltage across the first test battery cell (16) and the modified voltage measurement may then be determined, which has the voltage ripple substantially removed.
